  • Provide targeted 1:1 support for pupils with complex needs, including autism and SEMH.
  • Assist in planning and adapting learning materials to meet individual EHCP targets.
  • Support behaviour regulation strategies and promote a positive learning environment.
  • Work collaboratively with teachers and therapists to implement consistent support strategies.
  • Monitor, record, and feedback on pupil progress and development.
  • Contribute to the wider school ethos of inclusion, consistency, and high expectations.

Candidate Requirements

We are looking for outstanding candidates who:

  • Have substantial experience working in SEN education (essential).
  • Ideally hold HLTA status or equivalent senior TA experience.
  • Have strong knowledge of autism, SEMH, and complex learning needs.
  • Demonstrate excellent behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
  • Are confident leading interventions and supporting whole-class learning.
  • Show resilience, initiative, and a proactive approach to supporting pupils.
  • Are committed to long-term development within SEN education.

What the School Offers

  • Competitive salary: £28,000 – £35,000 (depending on experience).
  • A supportive and highly experienced SEN leadership team.
  • Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
  • A collaborative, multidisciplinary working environment.
  • The opportunity to make a direct and lasting impact on pupil outcomes.
  • Clear pathways for career progression within SEN education.
